Large amounts of COI sequence data have been produced that hold promise for rapid species identification, for example, for biosecurity. The fruit fly tribe Dacini holds about a thousand species, of which 80 are pests of economic concern. We generated a COI reference library for 265 species of Dacini containing 5601 sequences that span most of the COI gene using circular consensus sequencing. We compared distance metrics versus monophyly assessments for species identification and although we found a ‘soft’ barcode gap around 2% pairwise distance, the exceptions to this rule dictate that a monophyly assessment is the only reliable method for species identification. We found that all fragments regularly used for Dacini fruit fly identification &gt;450 base pairs long provide similar resolution. 11.3% of the species in our dataset were non-monophyletic in a COI tree, which is mostly due to species complexes.

Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has proven useful not only for detecting species but also for assessing genetic diversity and genetic structure on a large scale such as in phylogeography. However, it remains unclear whether eDNA analysis also has sufficient power to perform the landscape genetics, which focuses on a local scale. To reveal the applicability of eDNA to landscape genetics, we conducted an eDNA metabarcoding analysis of the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region of the fluvial sculpin <i>Cottus nozawae</i> in the upper Sorachi River in Japan and compared the results with inferences based on traditional tissue-based approaches by the same D-loop region and genome-wide SNP data. As a result, the spatial distribution of haplotypes was generally consistent between the eDNA- and tissue-based approaches. In addition, the genetic differentiation statistics calculated using eDNA and tissue samples were highly correlated when comparing both in the D-loop region. The removal of low-frequency reads or the conversion to semi-quantitative rankings of eDNA data did not alter the correlation of genetic diversity and differentiation statistics with tissue-based approaches much. Finally, we confirmed that analyses using eDNA data can reveal patterns such as isolation-by-distance shown in previous studies on this species, indicating the applicability of eDNA to basic landscape genetics.

Phylogenetic inference with concatenation and coalescent approaches was robust and showed high levels of support for most clades, including some which were previously unresolved. Resolution for hybridizing and recently radiated lineages remains difficult, but could be further improved by analysing multiple haplotypes and the non-exonic sequences captured by our kit, with the promise to shed new light on the evolution of enigmatic taxa with a complex speciation history.

These evolutionarily young and labile sex chromosomes are important for understanding early sex chromosome evolution but are difficult to identify due to the lack of Y/W degeneration and SLRs limited to small genomic regions. Here, we present SLRfinder, a method to identify candidate SLRs using linkage disequilibrium (LD) clustering, heterozygosity and genetic divergence. SLRfinder does not rely on specific sequencing methods or a specific type of reference genome (e.g., from the homomorphic sex). In addition, the input of SLRfinder does not require phenotypic sexes, which may be unknown from population sampling, but sex information can be incorporated and is necessary to validate candidate SLRs. We tested SLRfinder using various published datasets and compared it to the local principal component analysis (PCA) method and the depth-based method Sex Assignment Through Coverage (SATC). As expected, the local PCA method could not be used to identify unknown SLRs. SATC works better on conserved sex chromosomes, whereas SLRfinder outperforms SATC in analysing labile sex chromosomes, especially when SLRs harbour inversions. Power analyses showed that SLRfinder worked better when sampling more populations that share the same SLR. If analysing one population, a relatively larger sample size (around 50) is needed for sufficient statistical power to detect significant SLR candidates, although true SLRs are likely always top-ranked.
